Standard features

Side machine table (active strip buffer)

The robot places the strips here They are then automa-tically fed to the rear machine table The side machine table can be connected to an additional table for extension as required

Rear machine table

With integrated alignment function for longitudinal and transverse alignment (patent pending) and roller rails

Robot with suction traverse

At the heart of the HPS 320 flexTec is a tried-and-tested industrial robot with a specially developed suction traverse It is responsible for the handling of all the panels strips and parts Fully automatic highly flexible error-free and efficient

1 2 3

Program fences

Automatically positions the panels at the cutting line with robust clamps The technology is consistently designed for single panels ndash for lasting exact positioning with minimal maintenance careful handling of the material and maximum availability

New side pressure device

In contrast to the usual situation with HOMAG saws the HPS 320 flexTec works with a side pressure device that comes from above and can be moved separately The system aligns the strips over the entire cutting length ndash also suitable for pressure-sensitive panels

Extraction system

The cutting direction is towards the right-angled fence This prevents the panels from slipping and at the same time guarantees optimal extraction as dust and chips are directly captured via the right-angled fence the pressure beam and a special channel in the saw carriage

4 5 6

Ejecting device

Automatically pushes the cut parts from the cutting line to the front machine table and thus back into the work area of the robot Waste is removed via the waste flap

Waste removal

The waste flap opens and closes in the work cycle of the cutting cell It is fully automated and software-controlled

dustEx (patented)

The machine table is equipped with innovative dustEx combi-nozzles that guide dust and chips directly to the extraction system on the right-angled fence

7

8 9

Automatic outfeed

The robot automatically places all the finished parts on the outfeed motor-driven roller conveyors

Parts buffer for recuts

The system has a parts buffer directly above the pressure beam The robot temporarily places parts here that are to be fed to the saw again (recuts)

Automatic labeling

If the cutting cell has an auto-matic outfeed it also needs a label printer for fully-automatic labeling Each finished part is thereby provided with the information necessary for processing at subsequent stations directly at the outfeed There is a choice of two types of printer each using labels in 120 mm x 80 mm format

10

Manual label printer

In addition to the automatic labeling solutions HOMAG also offers a manual label printer for the HPS 320 flexTec

15

Offcuts return

The HPS 320 flexTec independently returns so-called automatic offcuts back into the store In contrast manual offcuts are marked with a label and placed in a manual offcut store by the operator As soon as this kind of offcut is needed again the cutting cell requests the operator to feed it to the saw The operator collects the desired part from the manual offcut store scans its label and places the part on an offcut roller conveyor Here automatic part measurement checks whether the information on the label matches the real dimensions If this is the case the part is fed back into the robotrsquos field of action by the offcut roller conveyor and processed

16

Sample cutting pattern with recut parts

The core cell of the HPS 320 flexTec has proven itself many times There are a number of possibilities for installation Whether fully interlinked or stand-alone with loading via the rear machine table or from the active strip buffer in a right or left version with destacking via outfeed roller conveyors on lifting tables or a combination of both anything is possible

For example the HPS 320 flexTec on the right features the following equipment

Automatic outfeed with automatic labeler

Two side lifting tables ndash where the robot places finished parts in a stable stack

1

310

12

Labeling near pressure beam

The HOMAG pressure beam printer labels parts automatically ndash and directly where they are made This creates ideal prerequisites for partially unmanned operation during the new lifting table destacking process as the 76 mm x 76 mm labels contain all of the information required for subsequent processing The label position may be selected as required

Optional features

Waste chopper and elevating waste conveyor

For smooth waste removal a waste chopper and an elevating waste conveyor are available as options

Extended rear machine table

If the saw is fed from an automated store the rear machine table may be extended The advantage is that if necessary the store then already puts the next panel into place during the current cutting process without the saw having to stop

NEW Destacking software and lifting table solutions for periodically unmanned operation The panel dividing professionals from HOMAG have developed destacking software with a completely new algorithm This together with the robot and the lifting tables in the secure area of the system enables the HPS 320 flexTec to operate unmanned over long distances A revolution in panel dividing technology

The operating principle clever and highly automated

The finished parts exit the saw in the order they are cut To obtain the optimum destacking order for stable stacking and subsequent processing the HOMAG experts have developed a new algorithm Equipped with its intelligence the robot also uses the parts buffer when destacking This allows the lifting tables to be used with a time delay and more intelligence than ever to form perfect stacks

The cutting cell is equipped with a laser scanner This measures the height of the stack of parts on the lifting tables in real time for optimum height positioning

The advantage operators are not required over long distances

Equipped with lifting tables in the robotrsquos field of action the HPS 320 flexTec can already work completely unmanned over long distances depending on the destacking variant

The result all-round efficiency

Thanks to its destacking software and special lifting tables in the robotrsquos field of action the HPS 320 flexTec works extremely efficiently and improves batch size 1 production beyond the cutting process

The robot can perform destacking according to an optimization strategy based on either destacking location or downstream processes

The robot always tries to use the maximum stack height

It forms absolutely stable and also fewer stacks than is normal when manually destacking

Actions by machine operators are rarely required and no longer required at all over long distances

This reduces the space required for handling tasks All this adds up to a rapid return on investment
